Vercel launches filesystem-first agent framework Eve

Eve is Vercel's open-source, filesystem-first framework designed to simplify building, running, and scaling durable backend AI agents. Often described as "Next.js for agents," it organizes capabilities directly through structured directories and features built-in state persistence, sandboxed compute, and human-in-the-loop workflows.

// ANALYSIS

Eve brings Vercel's signature developer experience (DX) and filesystem routing convention to AI agents, aiming to do for agent workflows what Next.js did for React frontends. By treating directory structures as agent configurations, it shifts the focus from plumbing infrastructure to defining behaviors.

–**Filesystem-First Convenience:** Directory-based setup (using files like `agent.ts`, `instructions.md`, and a `tools/` folder) makes agent design modular and highly intuitive.
–**Durable by Default:** Direct integration with Vercel Workflow ensures execution state is persisted automatically, allowing long-running agents to resume gracefully from interruptions.
–**Ecosystem Lock-in:** While open source, Eve is deeply tied to the Vercel stack (Vercel Sandbox, AI Gateway, Workflow), making it most compelling for developers already committed to Vercel's hosting and edge infrastructure.

Claude product head: Context drives model performance

During a presentation in Tokyo, Angela Jang, head of product for Anthropic's Claude platform, highlighted that many builders are missing a crucial point: a model's effectiveness is entirely dependent on the context it is given. She emphasized that the focus has shifted from mere prompting to providing comprehensive context, which she described as "the whole game now."
